The Fosters is far from cancelled. Dialing up the star-power, the ABC Family series has cast Rob Morrow and Kelli Williams in recurring roles on its hour-long family drama, The Fosters. The Fosters follows Stef Adams Foster (Teri Polo), her wife Lena Adams Foster (Sherri Saum), and their brood — an ethnically diverse blend of biological, adopted, and foster children.

Morrow will play Will, a free spirit, introduced to the family by Stef’s mom, Sharon (Annie Potts). Williams has been cast as Justina, a foster-care specialist interested in the “Fost and Found” website created by foster child, Callie (Maia Mitchell). Hayden Byerly, David Lambert, Cierra Ramirez, and Noah Centineo also star.
